Finaly fitted my 4-2-1 manifold now noticed a slight performance increase, but mostly I noticed how LOUD it got now it sounds like a R1 motorbike hehe, can't wait to fit my new rear silencer.....

Shure there are defenetly a few leeking joints, as I have to weld some of the joints due to lack of space, and with the workshop being referbished, the welding tool is.... wel ehhh, it's not there but no major leeks luckely

Finaly sourced a pair of FRP wishbones

Now I need the drive shafts, anyone??? found a pair on e-bay, but unfortunatly I don't have the £££££ right now

here is a short klip you can get an idea of the sound

[warrenpenalver]

looks cool. presume both exhaust holes are trimmed the same so it looks even??

[CartMan]

the holes are werry close to identical, but wil do them better when I get the FRP bumper.

[CartMan]

yay me just got an e-mail for pumaspeed comfirmig me as a winner of 10% discount on an FRP bodykit yay now all I need is £1000 he he,

[CartMan]

looks like the finishline is in sight now

just orderd and payed for the bodykit, and a sett of frp cams now all I need is the driveshafts, and the rear axel + reboring my left hand knuckle.

Oh, and I need an FRP cam tool. if anyone has a spare one

also need the frp map, but that can be done in other ways as well

[CartMan]

so how do yo guys like this collor??



It's the Ocean race blue 2, but whit the camera setings adjusted to give the most of its playfulness in the light It's as close tho real life as I'we been able to get it

[CartMan]

Ahhhh got my new Windscreen fitted today Lovley

thnx, good to know I'm not alone and it's also a limited edition color, so there wil be no more cars made with that color the ocean race line is a run of 7000 world wide, with the option of blue, or dark gray, not shure how many were blue, but it should atleast not be a comon sight

[CartMan]

been thinking of what this has cost me so far, hmmm
dont remember precice costs, + I'm also counting the postage :=)
car 1200
bodykit 1100
4 2 1 150
wishbones 350
driveshafts 400
doorcards 200
brakes 200
suspension 250
knukle 60
radiator and asorted water bits 200
cams 340
wheels 600 + 550 for winter tyers
asorted its and bolts 800
spacers 50
stereo 1000

probably more but total so far is about £7250 wow, hoping to get alott of fun ot of it thoug

edit: moral is, if you get the chanse, buy an FRP, it costs more to make one

FRP Cams fitted, Check
New timing belt kit and watterpump fitted, Check

just wish I wassent so eager to get it done, I might have rememberd to hold the camshaft tightly with my wrench when I fastend it, and maby, just maby I wouldn't have broken off a pice of the timing slot

Well luck have it that it was just the inntake cam, not the eksaust, but stil, sucks a** I rotated it back to what seemed to be the right position using what was left of the timing slot, did it up tight the right way and did the rest.

test drove it and it seams to be fine

Is there suposed to be a major performance increase?? or is it just a minor until you get the right ecu sw?? it did seem to pull stronger thoug, and overtaking easyer

[Bentleya]

Loving the progress Adrian, hopefully you have gotten away with it .

How are you getting on with sourcing bodywork and rear beam?

[CartMan]

I'we payd for the bodykit, but it's not been made yet waited a month now

I have found an rear aksel, but the seller is hard to get at to say the least

I'm also missing the left knuckle, now, I'we found one, but it's around £300 so it's pricy but then again, I need it

[Bentleya]

LH knuckles are very expensive Pumabuild are around £300 and so is Volcomstone who is selling on eBay and is a member on here.

[CartMan]

indeed
